Victorian house model progress

I have made some progress on my victorian house model.  The front is mostly done and I have added the right side.  The porch area was complicated and I debated for some time on the railings.  The upper part of the front is a metal casting.

Below is a view of the right side.

The windows on the right side are scratch built from wood to match as much as possible the plastic windows on the front.  I did this since I do not have enough matching commercial windows for the model and the right side will likely be next to the tavern separated by a narrow alley.  The left side will have an extension slightly back from the front.  I am still doing planning on where this is going.  
I wanted to do this update to keep the blog fresh.

Deteriorated tank car

I took this photo in 1982 but since I did not add any info I am not sure where it was.

I find deteriorated and weathered models to be interesting.
